<?php require(WB_PATH correct?

[pivey]

Hi,
before i mess better to confirm:

i have several templates in a multilang site and prefer to call my header menu from a single file headerTop.php

is it correct to call it with php require?
<?php require(WB_PATH.'/templates/headerTop.php'); ?>

need to confirm, thank you!

It is no problem to do it that way.

Using require, require_once, include or include_once does not make much difference here.
Require will stop execution at that point if the file is not found, Include will continue after writing an error.
Since that file will always be present, you could use any of those.

Hi Ruud, vielen Dank.

Thank you for the confirmation.
Nice to hear

One warning, make sure your included/required file starts with a check to see if it was called the right way, from within wb to prevent direct access.

Code:

// Stop this file being access directly
if(!defined('WB_URL')) {
header('Location: ../index.php');
exit(0);
}

have fun,
John

oh.. that one was important, was wondering how direct access restriction was handled anyway.
Thx a lot for this hint
